FPSC Photo Resizer

Prepares the picture an FPSC online application asks for: a recent passport-size photograph in JPG, under 30 KB. Drag the frame over your photo and the tool crops it to passport proportions, compresses it under the limit, and records the print size. It runs in your browser and never uploads the photo.

About this tool

Updated September 30, 2026

The requirement, in full

A recent passport-size picture, in jpg or jpeg, under 30 KB, and not an informal photo. FPSC states no pixel or centimetre dimensions.

That is taken from the Guidelines for Online Application Submission on the FPSC website, updated in September 2025, which this page links to. Because no dimensions are given, the tool crops to the standard 3.5 × 4.5 cm passport shape and writes that print size into the file. The 30 KB limit is the part that actually gets applications rejected, and it is the part this tool exists to settle.

Thirty kilobytes is stricter than it sounds

A phone photo is often several megabytes — around a hundred times the limit. Getting under 30 KB means giving up pixel size, not only quality.

Pushing a quality slider down far enough in an ordinary editor turns the picture into coloured blocks well before it reaches 30 KB. This tool holds quality at a level where a JPG still looks clean and finds the largest pixel size that fits underneath it. The result is small but sharp, which is what someone checking an application needs: a face they can recognise.

A plain background buys you detail

Flat areas of one colour cost a JPG almost nothing, so a plain wall leaves more of the 30 KB for your face.

This is the single most useful thing you can do before taking the photo. Stand in front of a plain, light, evenly lit wall, with no patterned curtains, furniture or other people in the frame. In our testing, a portrait on a plain background kept substantially more pixels at a tight limit than a detailed scene did. Even daylight also avoids the harsh shadows that both waste bytes and look bad.

Read your own advertisement too

The 30 KB rule was read from FPSC's guidelines on 28 September 2026. A specific advertisement can set different instructions.

The page links to the document it used, so you can confirm it yourself and see whether it has since changed. If your advertisement or the application screen gives a pixel size or a different limit, follow that — Compress Image to KB accepts any limit you type. Keep the original full-size photo as well, in case a later stage of the process asks for a larger copy.

FAQ

What does FPSC require?

Its Guidelines for Online Application Submission say to upload a recent passport-size picture in jpg or jpeg format with a size less than 30 KB, and to avoid informal pictures. That is the whole of the stated requirement.

What pixel size does FPSC want?

It does not say. The guidelines give a file format and a size limit but no dimensions, so this tool uses the standard 3.5 × 4.5 cm passport proportions. If your application screen states a pixel size, follow that instead.

What counts as an informal picture?

FPSC does not define it, but the intent is clear enough: a plain, front-facing portrait taken for the application, not a cropped selfie, a holiday snapshot or a photo with other people in it. A plain background also helps the photo survive the 30 KB limit.

Can I use this for a CSS application?

The 30 KB limit comes from the FPSC guidelines for online application submission, which cover its recruitment system generally. Competitive examination notices can carry their own instructions, so read the one for your exam and follow it where it differs.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The photo is cropped and compressed inside your browser, and never leaves your device.
